The New Women

A MOTIVE Anthology on Women's Liberation

Plot

Prose, poems adn polemics by Cynthia Ozick, Diane Di Prima, Marge Piercy, Linda Seese, and others.

The book orginally appeared as a double issue of MOTIVE magazine - according to the introduction -- Motive being a publication of the United Methodist Church's Board of Education, believe it or not...

That 1969 issue apparently stirred up a hornet's net with those good Church folk but also garned so much attention, energy, outrage and angry letters it led to the the creation of this anthology -- some of the letters were included in the book.
